You mentioned possible complaints about Russell Westbrook. What would warrant a -3 change, especially after a great playoff performance? I know there's an update coming soon after release, and I hope Westbrook's impressive FIBA play puts him at least even with Rose.

Joakim Noah's rating has got to be higher then a 73. I did see ben wallace rating was higher than his which is absurd. I think Loul Deng's rating should be at least 79. I also think Kevin Durant and westbrook rating should be higher. I say Durant at least 94, and westbrook at least an 83. I also think wade's rating should be at least a 94 or 95. 97 is just a lil too high for me.

The David Lee rating is absurd, Yes he racked stats in that high-possession system of D'Antoni's, but his defense is mediocre at best, and he has no offense beyond dunking the ball.

He's a stat padder, equivalent to Antawn Jamsion. Check the W/L record of the teams he plays for. His stats rarely effect the bottom line, as an undersized guy he gives up as many points as he adds.

And I like Brook Lopez fine, but it's tough to see him ranked quite that highly given that his team flirted with an all-time worst record. He's not that much better than say Andray Blatche who outplayed him by a large margin in head-to-head this year when two stinker teams matched up.

All the centers seem low. Horford and Noah in particular. Both of whom actually do have a modicum of ballhandling skills (ditto JaVale McGee, who overuses the skill, playing as though he thinks he's a guard).

Having seen David Lee all season, he is much more than a dunker. He finishes extremely well with either hand, and can take other bigmen off the dribble with ease. He has great handle for a big which is how he was able to succeed in D'Antoni's system.

He isn't a great defender, but he IS a legit scorer and doesn't hurt his team to get his points (the TRUE definition of a stat-padder). Point that finger at Zach Randolph, Ricky Davis, Allen Iverson, etc. I look at the Knicks W/L record last season and I shudder to think of what it would have been without Lee.

I don't necessarily go with those 82games stats as I found Synergy's ratings are much more effective... let's not forget 82games doesn't even clarify what players are being guarded. Dirk wouldn't post good defensive numbers if he were matchup up on centers like Lee was all year.

Post defense is obviously not Lee's strength but that's not as much of an issue when he's playing with an actual center (Biedrins).

Dirk's rating is low because the PF formula 2K uses is abominable. It barely credits Dirk for the attributes he's good at, such as 3pt, ball handling, etc, and penalizes him for the attributes he is below average at (rebounding, blocking). With a more realistic formula (since he obviously PLAYS like a top player), he'd have a better rating.
